Charon Shemekia Copeland (born April 10, 1979) is an American electric
blues vocalist.
Copeland was born in Harlem, New York City, United States. She is the
daughter of Texas blues guitarist and singer Johnny Copeland. She began singing
at an early age and her first public performance was at the Cotton club when
she was about 10. She began to pursue a singing career in earnest at age 16. When
her father's health began to decline, he took Shemekia on tour as his opening
act, which helped establish her name on the blues circuit. Copeland graduated in 1997 from Teaneck High
School in Teaneck, New Jersey.
She landed a recording contract with Alligator Records, which issued her
debut album, Turn the Heat Up! in 1998, following it up with a tour of the
blues festival circuit in America and Europe. Her second album, Wicked, was
released in 2000 and featured a duet with one of her heroes, Ruth Brown. It
earned her three Blues Music Awards.
One
last slow blues
To
close the show
I
watched you dance with her
And,
you know, it hurt me so
Why
would you bring
A
new love around, around so soon
Why
would you have to rub
Salt
in my wounds
I
ain't bitter or want to judge
She
won fair and square
And
I hold no grudge
Why
would you bring a new love around so soon
Why
would you wanna rub
Salt
in my wounds
Couldn't
you wait till these healing hands of time
Squeeze
the pain, the pain from my heart
Couldn't
you wait till my bruised and bitter pride
Till
it ain't, till it ain't torn apart
Take
your price now, and just walk away
We
can both live to love another day
Why
would you bring a new love around so soon
Why
would you wanna rub
Salt
in my wounds
Why
would you wanna rub
Salt
in my wounds
Make
me feel low down
Make
me feel so bad
Why
would you have to bring a new love
Around
so soon
Why
would you have to hurt me
Oh,
made me feel so bad
Rubbing
salt in my wounds
Yea
yea yea yea.
